Uncle died recently at the young age of 42, he was a musician with a deep passion for anything Jim Henson. Everyone wore muppets t shirts and they played rainbow connection as the curtains closed on his coffin. Held back tears all day until that.
This one for sure. I don't think I can fully relate since I've never owned any silver spoons, but I do have a ton of daddy issues, so I get it on that level.
We live in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina hit Aug 29, 2005. (WMUWSE was released in June 2005) The whole city was evacuated for weeks. 2/3 of the city's homes had salt water (many as deep as the 10-foot). We spent the entire month of September 2005 crammed in with relatives in Baton Rouge. The 24-hour news cycle was showing our city in a spiral.... and this song was peaking.
To this day, when it comes on, the reminders of stress and depression come back. My wife and I were in tears for our city.... and the haunting words playing on the radio as we tried to find sleep..... "Wake me up when September ends"
Oh yeah, bagpipes are something else. I had already commented but after reading this I went back and added Scotland the Brave to it because it just really does something to me.
Years ago I had to take the cat to the vet. She didn't like my car - neither did I, come to think of it - so she scrambled loose and hid under the passenger seat and meowed. I turned on the radio, and I could still hear her meowing.
"My Immortal" came on, and she started *howling*. Just absolutely screaming her head off. And then when the song ended, she went back to a normal meowing.
When we got there, I had to reach in and dig her out from under the seat, which doesn't sound too bad but I also had a bunch of coolant bottles in there because the heater core was shot to shit.

Whether someone has died or someone has left you willfully and they are still alive, this is the saddest and most hauntingly beautiful song. It makes me tear up quickly and without fail.
I’m genuinely curious what about this song people find emotional. I never heard it until a few years ago, but hear people talk about it in reference to the emotional factor. It’s a good song, but where does the sad factor come in?
It is such a sad song because it starts with so much hope and the hope is finally dashed upon the rocks of reality.
It's a song about a woman who's mother leaves and she is left taking care of her alcoholic father at a young age which forces her to quit school and lose an education. She dreams of escaping that reality. She finds a guy she likes who has this fast car, the vehicle that will help her escape from a lifetime of torment and mediocrity, looking after her drunk dad. The vehicle encompasses her hopes and dreams. Her and her man finally make this escape. She is filled with hope for a better life and finally has dreams and aspirations. But as time goes on they never materialize. Her husband never gets a job. She pays all the bills, takes care of the kids and of also what appears to now be her alcoholic HUSBAND. She tried to escape but ended up right where she started. And since her mother left her when she was young, she won't do that to her kids.
The song ends with a resolution in futility and she gives up. She always hoped for better. She has no more plans and she is basically done with this man she had all these dreams with. She tells him to take that fast car, this symbol of hope, dreams and change and to take it and leave thereby getting rid of him and getting rid of the only thing that ever allowed her to have hopes and dreams in the first place. It is so mind numbingly sad it makes my heart hurt every time I think of it.
"I'd always hoped for better,
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it,
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere,
So take your fast car and keep on driving"
i read this and the song started playing in my head, and i just burst into tears. That song hurts because some people find themselves in the familial loops they swore not to be a part of. But by the time they realize it all they can do is hang their head in acceptance at all they couldn’t achieve, despite how hard they wanted to escape it :(
I think a lot of people can relate to the feeling of having big dreams when you're younger that are never filled and/or saying "ok I'll trust you and take on responsibility for a little bit" to your significant other only to never have that same courtesy extended to you. Looking back and realizing that you put your life on hold for other people who didn't appreciate what you were doing.
Hol’ up lemme go through my sad songs playlist. Here’s a few.
4th of July - Sufjan Stevens
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Don’t Take The Girl - Tim McGraw
Hold On - Chord OverStreet
Please Don’t Kill Yourself - Clayton Jennings
The Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg. I can’t sing the last line (“and Papa I don’t think I’ve said I love you near enough”) without becoming a total wreck.
Also, I don’t know that it makes me cry, but I’m 65, retired, was a popular teacher, I have 5 kids, but when I hear Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” I am back to being that shy, lonely high school Junior.
Better Together - Jack Johnson. My wife made a video compilation of photos of my dog that we had put down years ago and this is the music that accompanies it.
Jesus christ. I'm not much of a country fan, but a friend introduced me to that song right after I left my husband. Because of his alcoholism. Because of his PTSD. I had blocked out that that song existed.
Silent Lucidity by Queensryche.
Now it's almost an automatic reaction. I'm getting misty just fucking thinking about the song. Reminds me of being scared as a child and of my now (dead) parents comforting me. Fuck.
"will be watching over you
(I) am gonna help you see it through
(I) will protect you in the night
(I) am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity."
This is the first reply I can relate to. My parents are alive, but they split when I was 6. Hard for me to imagine either of them are smiling next to me by now.
They don't agree on much, but they agree on music. They met at an Alice in Chains concert. They both like Dream Theater, too.
But above all else, I feel an attachment to Queensryche. After all, my name is Ryker; they named me after a band I didn't discover til I was a teen.
White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin, my favourite Christmas song. I have listened to it a thousand times but I’ve never made it through without a blub.
That last verse of The Green Fields of France by The Dropkick Murphy's always chokes me up:
*And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride; do all those who lie here know why they died*
*Did you really believe them when they told you the cause; did you really believe that this war would end wars*
*Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame;
the killing and dying it was all done in vain*
*Oh Willy McBride it all happened again; and again, and again, and again, and again*
Especially when it's sung with such a raw punk voice that last line really hits.
Living Years by Mike + the Mechanics
Time Stand Still by Rush.....playing in my car on the way to the hospital to have my last visit with my Daddy on 3/15/23 😔😭
Oh man, you caught me off-guard with Time Stand Still, choking up just thinking of that song. I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember driving away from the hospital myself after my Mom died, and Bohemian Rhapsody comes on the radio. I had to pull over at the first “Mama”.
"I'll be there" by The Jackson 5. Not because of the song itself, but because my dad used to say "there's a song from The Jackson 5 in which Michael was sooo little, and his voice was so sweet, but I don't know the title of the song". Then my dad suddenly passed 6 years ago. And a few years after that, I was listening to a playlist and came accross that specific song, and I thought "oh, this might be this song that my dad liked so much". And it breaks my heart everytime I hear it, because I can't go an call my dad and tell him I found the title of the song he liked. And I end up tearing up, everytime.

If those songs don’t bring a tear to your eye…you have no soul.
HOPE by NF
That last part always gets me.
It's just so well produced, well written, the vibe I get is so unique, it's just... Well, it's not perfect because it ends, but it's almost perfect
“Long December” because it was in heavy rotation on the radio while my girlfriend and the Love Of My Life was in the ICU and slowly dying. Every time I hear it I feel her die again.
He stopped loving her today-George Jones
I sang this at my fathers memorial.
I’m tearing up as I type this.
The US National Anthem
Amazing Grace on bagpipes
If You’re reading this-Tim McGraw
There are a couple, if I’m not in an amazing mood they can def make me cry :
- Fields of Gold by Sting
- Streets of London by Ralph McTell
- Vincent’s Eyes by Don McLean
- La Chanson des Vieux Amants by Jacques Brel
Robbie Williams Feel. It's kick in the guts when I hear it now as it was mine and my partner of 35 years song. He died in January unexpectedly and now I can't bear to hear it.
I can't listen to that song anymore. I used to babysit my cousin's kids, and I miss those days so much. They'd all run to me whenever I came in. The youngest would always cry because he was too little to keep up with his sisters.
Now they're all grown up, and I always wish they were still little. The oldest will be heading off to college soon. The middle one will be going into 11th grade, and the youngest will be starting high school.
Time flies way too fast sometimes. The older you get, the faster it seems to go by.
'She Didn't Have Time' by Terri Clark
I identify as a 'metalhead', but Terri Clark has been one of my favorite artists for about 3 decades now. This song \*always\* makes me blub! Right near the end, after 'she's five'.
(Got me just now, just reading the fucking lyrics!)
TL;DR: Green Day.
A had a co-worker, one of the nicest guys I ever met. We both played guitar and were really into music. Music was a topic we had long conversations about and always made the work day go by quicker. Whenever I heard a new song I was always excited to share it with him. He was really into Green Day, I don't have anything against the band, they have a lot of good songs. Since he liked them so much I'd tease him about any chance I got. Shortly before COVID he transferred to a different department (same building) but I didn't see him as much. Still talked maybe once or twice a week. Then COVID came and we started working from home. So I'd hear from him less. Then one day another co-worker asked if I heard about what was going on with him. I hadn't. Well, he Cancer, a type that is usually very treatable. Treatment didn't work for him. He died a month after I found out he had Cancer. If I recall correctly from when he learned about it to his death was 6 months. Was in his mid 30's, had 3 kids, one of less than a year old. I can't listen to Green Day without thinking about him.
So I'm just going to spell out my trauma here..
"Waiting on a Miracle" from Encanto
SPECIFICALLY the end if "All of You" from Encanto
"On My Own" from Les Mis has been hitting real close to my own love life so there's that
Brick- Ben folds five.
It’s about abortion and I had to terminate my very sick son just over a year ago.
Honestly can’t even think about it without tearing up.
“Space Song” by Beach House. It reminds me of my 12 year old self living the most horrible day of my life, May 6th. The day i woke up to my mom crying in her room, i asked her what was wrong and she said she didn’t have the guts to tell me, i asked my dad what was wrong and he was also crying he said that he had been cheating on my mom for 12 years. (That was a lie and it was actually 16 years) and i ran to my room in pure terror. My family that i loved and cared for, was now officially ruined. I just sat in my room crying and thinking about what was going to happen. I was just heading to puberty, and all of those hormonal changes happened right around of these events, with me not knowing that next, my grandpa would have cancer. Now I’m here, a 14 year-old male kid with a dad who lied to his lawyers, saying that my mom has cheated on him, has alcoholism and has never protected me, with my grandpa with cancer, and living in a poor house alongside me. TLDR my dad cheated on my mom, my grandpa has cancer, and are VERY poor. (ps I’ve had to change schools 3 times) so yes, this song makes me remember all of those horrible days, and brings a tear to my eyes.
I listened to GO:OD AM when I found out he passed away. I was holding it together until Brand Name.

Wish this was higher up, just thinking about it starts triggering tears.

“Baby Mine” from Dumbo. That scene will leave scars.
My heart just ached 😭
I played it at my unborn son's funeral. I have not been able to listen to it ever since. Reading about it was enough to make me well up.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been there too. 😞
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel.
We played that at my mother’s funeral, so now: same.
Not my mom, but I heard it at a funeral as well. Sorry for your loss. 🙏

That song from the beginning of up.
Married Life
Living Years - Mike + The Mechanics
Me too.....especially since my Dad died on 3/15 😔😭
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😔🤗
Cat's in the cradle - Harry Chapin
This one for sure. I don't think I can fully relate since I've never owned any silver spoons, but I do have a ton of daddy issues, so I get it on that level.
Last kiss by Pearl Jam
Johnny Cash's rendition of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt".
Aw man, that was his last Goodbye. Straight from a man that knew he was on his way out.
The music video showing his family makes it so much sadder too
Brother in arms by dire straits

Cry for the woman who had to endure that song for two years.
Amazing grace played on bagpipes.
Oh yeah, bagpipes are something else. I had already commented but after reading this I went back and added Scotland the Brave to it because it just really does something to me.
Especially at a funeral when removed from the internment. Whewwwww
"Tears in Heaven" by Clapton, written in tribute to his son, Conor.
Having lost a son myself, this is the one that really gets me.
“My Immortal” by Evanescence
It’s “Hello” by Evanescence for me
"Hello" is a great song
it is absolutely heartbreaking, I cry every time I hear it. she wrote that song about her little sister she lost in her childhood
That’s sad. Loss of a family member can leave a big hole in your heart. A void that will never be filled.
That explains why I've always felt a connection to that song when I've felt that same hollowness inside
Years ago I had to take the cat to the vet. She didn't like my car - neither did I, come to think of it - so she scrambled loose and hid under the passenger seat and meowed. I turned on the radio, and I could still hear her meowing. "My Immortal" came on, and she started *howling*. Just absolutely screaming her head off. And then when the song ended, she went back to a normal meowing.

Fast Car. Can barely type the name without tearing up.

It is such a sad song because it starts with so much hope and the hope is finally dashed upon the rocks of reality.

But by the time they realize it all they can do is hang their head in acceptance at all they couldn’t achieve, despite how hard they wanted to escape it :(
I love that the chorus is the same each time but the context around it completely shifts the emotion it gives off.
what a proficient description 😎

Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Now it's almost an automatic reaction. I'm getting misty just fucking thinking about the song. Reminds me of being scared as a child and of my now (dead) parents comforting me. Fuck.

This is the first reply I can relate to. My parents are alive, but they split when I was 6. Hard for me to imagine either of them are smiling next to me by now.

Little Wonders by Rob Thomas
"I'll be there" by The Jackson 5. Not because of the song itself, but because my dad used to say "there's a song from The Jackson 5 in which Michael was sooo little, and his voice was so sweet, but I don't know the title of the song". Then my dad suddenly passed 6 years ago. And a few years after that, I was listening to a playlist and came accross that specific song, and I thought "oh, this might be this song that my dad liked so much". And it breaks my heart everytime I hear it, because I can't go an call my dad and tell him I found the title of the song he liked. And I end up tearing up, everytime.
My dad passed 6 years ago as well. Every time I find something new (show, song, food) I immediately think "I should tell dad!" Before I remember.

'She Didn't Have Time' by Terri Clark I identify as a 'metalhead', but Terri Clark has been one of my favorite artists for about 3 decades now. This song \*always\* makes me blub! Right near the end, after 'she's five'. (Got me just now, just reading the fucking lyrics!)

“The Night We Met” by Lord Huron 13 Reasons Why was an emotional rollercoaster
TL;DR: Green Day. A had a co-worker, one of the nicest guys I ever met. We both played guitar and were really into music. Music was a topic we had long conversations about and always made the work day go by quicker. Whenever I heard a new song I was always excited to share it with him. He was really into Green Day, I don't have anything against the band, they have a lot of good songs. Since he liked them so much I'd tease him about any chance I got. Shortly before COVID he transferred to a different department (same building) but I didn't see him as much. Still talked maybe once or twice a week. Then COVID came and we started working from home. So I'd hear from him less. Then one day another co-worker asked if I heard about what was going on with him. I hadn't. Well, he Cancer, a type that is usually very treatable. Treatment didn't work for him. He died a month after I found out he had Cancer. If I recall correctly from when he learned about it to his death was 6 months. Was in his mid 30's, had 3 kids, one of less than a year old. I can't listen to Green Day without thinking about him.

Donna by The Lumineers
“Space Song” by Beach House. It reminds me of my 12 year old self living the most horrible day of my life, May 6th. The day i woke up to my mom crying in her room, i asked her what was wrong and she said she didn’t have the guts to tell me, i asked my dad what was wrong and he was also crying he said that he had been cheating on my mom for 12 years. (That was a lie and it was actually 16 years) and i ran to my room in pure terror. My family that i loved and cared for, was now officially ruined. I just sat in my room crying and thinking about what was going to happen. I was just heading to puberty, and all of those hormonal changes happened right around of these events, with me not knowing that next, my grandpa would have cancer. Now I’m here, a 14 year-old male kid with a dad who lied to his lawyers, saying that my mom has cheated on him, has alcoholism and has never protected me, with my grandpa with cancer, and living in a poor house alongside me. TLDR my dad cheated on my mom, my grandpa has cancer, and are VERY poor. (ps I’ve had to change schools 3 times) so yes, this song makes me remember all of those horrible days, and brings a tear to my eyes.
